Will the Allies unleash their air force today on the the Japanese? The IJAAF bombs Chungking, ahead of the shock/deliberate attack there. [image]local://upfiles/44178/16E9BF94C42041DD8C0EFB2B6F0F04F5.jpg[/image]

The answer is yes! [image]local://upfiles/44178/8C04B9A2CFB94B548992518334349205.jpg[/image]

The air attacks are in large numbers... [image]local://upfiles/44178/47F617160748457B95111BD586DE0EAD.jpg[/image]

ETA on when you will be ready to assault San Diego? Troops assigned to do so?? Did you bring at least one Command HQ with you?? If so, is it prepping for SD or LA? You need that extra adjusted assault value (90%) if you can get it.

Afternoon comes and the Fuso gets hit twice, but they both bounce. Every SBD is destroyed in the pursuit after the bombing run. [image]local://upfiles/44178/2FAFAF7166134E889CFD8A515E46C0CB.jpg[/image]

And then, swiftly, we are back to dodging torpedoes...we have survived another day in the air. Our fears fall to tomorrow...where where the Jugs? [image]local://upfiles/44178/09FBA67012634EC3957D235715F87674.jpg[/image]

Lowpe -> RE: Manila Falls (7/5/2016 1:04:28 PM)
A surprising 1-2 attack, 150 points shy of 1-1....but the forts aren't degraded! [image]local://upfiles/44178/0EC49A5DEAE84A46AD2D7E713AC202F8.jpg[/image]

The Americans attack again! The 2nd Tank races to seal holes in the line....will they be in time? [image]local://upfiles/44178/41FF2AFE0E004F21866B768B6E6497FB.jpg[/image]

Lowpe -> RE: Manila Falls (7/5/2016 1:08:31 PM)
Yes, despite a 1-1...the Japanese troops fight off the superior Allied troops...but it is shaky, shaky indeed. [image]local://upfiles/44178/0086FCF1FF6342AA83F3C055684F48EA.jpg[/image]

Several PT boat fights, bombard LA, fight off three waves of bombers...suffer two 1000 pound hits. All in a days work for the Fuso. She needs fuel, but is otherwise good to go! [image]local://upfiles/44178/1D19AD0E3FC149B0940642B896E6BD06.jpg[/image]

Loaded with munitions and on fire...not good! [image]local://upfiles/44178/232F4BC6BFF94DBFA3C82E088295036B.jpg[/image]

Lowpe -> RE: Manila Falls (7/5/2016 1:29:16 PM)
Well, that was a turn and no mistake. [;)] That is all for now...

You need that extra adjusted assault value (90%) if you can get it. _____________________________ Probably have the first artillery bombardment in two days... I did bring a command HQ and it is prepping for LA...not San Diego.

Why shock at Chungking? It'll be months to get the disablements ready again. A shock for me is when I know I already have an advantage, and generally with smaller troop number than you have there. At SD you'll be going in with a DA to start, right? [;)]

[;)] The division that closed the river/road hexside moved north across the river and thus was the only shocking unit. All other units deliberate attacked or bombarded except for one division I held back.

More ship movements by the Allies... [image]local://upfiles/44178/77860AB30E64463FA3A78185B1266205.jpg[/image]

Without that shocking division, you would've had comparable casualties. Too bad about the forts, but his units got really beat up and won't be recovering much.

Lowpe -> RE: Manila Falls (7/5/2016 3:04:36 PM)
I got the replay of to Jocke, and it will probably take me all day to flip the turn...synch bug hit us this day according to Jocke. Three fresh fighter squadrons arrived at Santa Ana...but I need to get more troops into LA as the Allies are really bringing in the reinforcements. On the positive side, there are a few less PT boats to worry about.

Lowpe- I'm having fun following both your and Joc's AAR's. Best Regards, -Terry

I remember seeing that moving there in one of the maps above. Cool. How much are you sending to LA and when will the new units arrive?

Lowpe -> RE: Manila Falls (7/5/2016 11:34:56 PM)
Shocking into Chungking....painful, but something you have to do. I used a division. I know other players will shock across with a recon tank regiment, but I just think the division makes more sense. Just play style. I have spent almost 0 points on leaders, but this guy has a tough reputation for following proper administration...might have to bite the bullet and switch him out.

A shock for me is when I know I already have an advantage, and generally with smaller troop number than you have there. Two divisions already have forts 1. The 2nd Tank is in almost perfect shape for the fight coming up, and will now be in combat mode instead of move mode. At SD you'll be going in with a DA to start, right?

Today the 2nd Tank, an machine cannon AA unit (woohoo!) and some 24cm Howitzers made it in. Tomorrow there should be: more 24cm guns and a mess of 10cm guns; the following day will see the 12th ID arrive, and then a mess of rapid fire AT guns, 16th ID, more artillery and AA. May dispatch another ID there too.

Turn is a way and off to the Allies...getting pretty hairy, here! So many things are happening, hard to keep it straight.

Lowpe -> RE: Manila Falls (7/6/2016 2:16:06 AM)
Jocke tells me he is heading out on vacation at the end of the week, no turns for at least one week. I really need the breather, as I have so much to do...but I also would like to really progress in my other game in that time frame too, so that will be my focus during the Allied Vacation. In game news, I will be upgrading my first squadron to Oscar IIIa. I know Lok doesn't like the plane, but this is pdu off and it is important. Over Santa Ana I flew a split CAP yesterday...some planes at 30K. Today, I have lowered them all to under 10K. I am also providing more planes and have engagement range set to 1 to cover LA. Here is hoping!
